I am putting a new transmission into a car, and the 'end' of the transaxle is STUCK in the transmission. I have tried prying it out (I know not a GREAT) pulling on it.. what ever.. Its so stuck..
I am about to cut it with a torch and put a slide hammed on it!
But if anyone has any ideas before that it would be GREAT!!

Thanks
Juan

Um, you mean the axle is stuck in the transmission? The transmission and axle assembly is referred to as the transaxle.

There is a groove in the splines around the axle shaft on the end inside the transmission and a simple round clip fits inside the groove and holds the axles in a corresponding groove inside. They should just pop out with enough force. The manual says to use a slide hammer on the right side axle. Just make sure it's between the case and the joint (big round metal can thing, they call it the tri-point pot). The left axle it says to remove with a screw driver. There should be a slot visible on the shaft between the case and pot that it says to insert the screw driver in and pry against the case until it pops out.

When I took my trans out I just used a couple of pry bars on either side of the pot and pulled out from the case until they popped out. They came out pretty easy.
